Tunisia: Hundreds march for Jerusalem

Trump's decision to move the US embassy to Jerusalem has prompted protests in Tunisia, where protesters marched on Thursday in the city of Sfax carrying Palestinian flags.

An emergency meeting was held in the Tunisian parliament, where MPs raised the Palestinian and Tunisian flags and chanted "The people want to liberate Palestine". It's a cry reminiscent of Tunisia's Arab Spring in 2011, when protesters shouted "The people want to overthrow the regime".
